12 Weeks Of Christmas: Week 8 - Four Fold Get Your Santa On


I think I am back on track now with my 12 weeks of Christmas posts.  Here we are at Week 8.  I am beginning to sound like an old lady when I say "wow, hasn't that year flown by" but you know it really has.  This last 18 months has been a real hard time for my kids & I but we are coming out the other side & the sun is shining. We are in a happy place & I am slowly getting my craft mojo back.

Ok enough of the personal stuff.  Wanna see my cute four fold card?


Four Fold Card - Get Your Santa On


This is one of the cards my stamp club ladies will be making this week.  It is kind of a spinner card I guess you would say.  We are doing the inlaid glitter technique by using heat & stick powder & dazzling diamonds & heat setting it.  Bit hard to see on the santa but he is all glittery & sparkly.  

My friend Leonie made a card like this recently & when she came to help out at my Create Your Christmas event she brought it to show me.  Lots of people commented on it, so I really wanted to do something similar.  Please excuse my dodgy photo as I took a quick snap on my kitchen bench before she left so I could figure out how to make it. 

Leonie's Festival Of Trees Four Fold Card
 I hope to make a few more of these cards as they are fun & a bit different to your normal card you get in the mail.  Best part is they fold flat & fit in a standard envelope.

Thanks For Looking,
TRICIA

12 Weeks Of Christmas: Week 5 - Blended Bearing Gifts


I love a good polar bear stamp don't you?  I was immediately drawn to the cute single stamp in the Holiday Catalogue called Bearing Gifts on page 33.  It gave me the perfect opportunity to practice using my Blendabilities.   I really enjoyed colouring this stamp in - must be the 5 year old in me!   I used the Nordic Noel DSP (also in the holiday Catalogue p.15) for a bright cheery feel.  I kept this card very simple as I wanted that beautiful bear to be the main focal point.  I used a few glimmer stars like the catalogue image, but I wanted a much brighter look so I used the Blendabilities instead of water colouring.  Oh & this post is just in time for a Casing the Catty Challenge too!




Thanks For Looking,

12 Weeks Of Christmas: Weeks 1-3 - Santa Stache Bags & Card & Tiny Treat Endless Wishes

Yes, I know I have been very naughty & have been neglecting my blog.   I have been working really hard for the last 3 weeks getting all the projects & displays ready for my Create Your Christmas day tomorrow.  Phew I have finally finished the preparations & can at last sit & visit with you all.  I always do a 12 weeks of Christmas special so as a catch up I am showing 3 projects for weeks 1-3.

Those of you that know me personally, know I always create a special bag for my events.  It is one of the things I really enjoy as I get to increase the scale of my project.   Here is my bag design for tomorrow.

Project 1 (Week 1 of my 12 Weeks Of Christmas)

I have used Smoky Slate, All is Calm DSP, Cherry Cobbler & a dash of Silver Glimmer paper.  I stamped random snowflakes from Endless Wishes stamp set all over the white bag as it was looking a bit plain.  

Project 2 is a matching card.  I really love the Smoky Slate sheet from the All Is Calm DSP ( can't you tell lol)  When teamed with white & silver it takes on a silvery feel.   

Project 2 (Week 2 of my 12 Weeks Of Christmas)

My 3rd Project are little table gifts I made everyone attending my Christmas Creations day.  This is another thing I always try to do.  I have used the Tiny treat Boxes from the Holiday Catalogue & have stamped a snowflake from Endless wishes all the way around in craft White ink.  I used the very versatile Tag Talk stamp set for the small tag on top.  

Project 3 (Week 3 of my 12 Weeks Of Christmas)

Inside is a little surprise for those attending.  I hope to be back Monday to share some photos from the day.   I will be glad to give my trimmer a rest I can tell you.  I have lots to share including the projects from the day, plus I've made quite a few samples.  I am also working on a few tutorials for you all for some of those projects.  

Thanks For Looking,
TRICIA
